PFLAG Chapter
About Us
PFLAG Beverly-Morgan Park exists to create a welcoming, affirming community where LGBTQ+ individuals and their families find support, education, and advocacy on Chicago's Southwest Side.
We bring together parents, families, friends, and allies to:
• Provide compassionate peer support for families navigating questions of sexual orientation and gender identity
• Foster understanding and acceptance through education and dialogue within our neighborhoods, schools, and faith communities
* Advocate for policies and practices that ensure equity, dignity, and safety for all LGBTQ+ people in Beverly, Morgan Park, and beyond
• Champion our neighbors of color, especially black LGBTQ+ individuals and families, while actively confronting racism and working toward racial justice
We envision neighborhoods where every person can live authentically, where families are strengthened through understanding, and where our community celebrates the full diversity of human experience.
What We Do
Provide Support – PFLAG facilitates separate monthly in-person and online support groups, as well as a weekly support group for parents and allies of transgender folks. We also provide periodic programs for special topics and events.
Offer Education – Each month, as part of our support groups, we provide a different education topic relevant to the time of year (back-to-school, coming out, etc.). For the parents / allies of transgender folks, we provide a faith-based discussion one week, book club the next week, sharing our stories, and trans-specific education topics. We also do periodic special programs like suicide prevention training, name change clinic, and others.
Advocate– PFLAG strives to partner with other local and National organizations to educate key decision-makers about the issues that affect our loved ones and families, and to teach others how to use their voices to amplify our efforts toward a more equitable, and just world for the LGBTQ+ community.
